Hard blow for the defense of Johnny Depp ! The comedian was overwhelmed during his lawsuit against Amber Heard by one of his exes, Ellen Barkin. The latter returned to their chaotic relationship, painting an unflattering portrait of the star.
This couldn’t have come at a worse time. While Johnny Depp and his lawyer Camilla Vasquez gradually reversed the trend (and gained public opinion), a new testimony could well change everything. Indeed, Ellen Barkin, an ex-conquest of the actor of Pirates of the Caribbean made shocking revelations, describing their toxic relationship, on the verge of violence and above all the constant drunkenness of his companion at the time.
The only other celebrity who appeared at the trial, Ellen Barkin, finally testified in court in Fairfax, near Washington, and for her part recalled that Johnny Depp “was drunk almost all the time“, jealous and possessive.”He’s a jealous man, who wants to control everything, what you do, where you go. What did you do last night. Once I had a scratch on my back and got really mad because he thought it was because he slept with someone else.“
Ellen also claimed that her ex was a heavy user of drugs of all kinds such as cocaine, cannabis or hallucinogenic products. When one of Amber Heard’s lawyers asked her how many times had this happened, the actress was simply able to answer: “I can’t tell you, he was always drinking or smoking a joint.”
In her pre-recorded testimony, the actress finally said that the actor had one day thrown a bottle of wine in her direction but without aiming at her, during an argument on the set of Las Vegas Paranoid in 1997. “He had ended up fighting with his friend in the bedroom, an assistant“Ellen recounted.
A global intervention that will not do the business of Johnny Depp, who is still claiming $ 50 million from Amber Heard for defamatory remarks. The trial will end on May 27.
